I always thought that laybacks had a lot more of an offset than a std non-inline post.
I have a Cannondale layback on my Pompino which I'm using (or at least thought I was) to stretch the bike out a little as I bought a smaller frame than I should have (intentionally, for stand over etc).
So I kinda thought layback = stretch the toptube out and so, why would you need to do that on a custom frame. But really it's a positioning thing and no more extreme or 'making do' than a non inline post.
